@amart So these are just unofficial bots syndicating headlines? Disappointing that more of those media outlets haven't made at least some move to establish a foothold on Mastodon. :(

@mgifford @amart Are there reliable stats on daily active users for Post and Mastodon?
Show threadAlan MartelloDec 14, 2022

@SDoleMelipone @mgifford I don't know how / where this page is getting its stats, but this is one data point for Mastodon monthly active users.

I haven't seen any figures for Post.news.

@amart @SDoleMelipone I suspect that Post will only make that transparent if/when they feel the number is impressive.

After the rate of adoption of ChatGPT, very little rate of adoption looks impressive.
